Your party consists of four human adventurers, who can specialize in one of six different classes. A player might find themselves gravitating to either real-time or turn-based combat, or mixing them: both modes have their advantages, and are viable in most situations.
While turn-based mode is switched on, the party may not move, but the player has time to make more deliberate choices during combat. Real-time combat can be hectic, but exciting: a player might often find themselves running backward, evading incoming projectiles while pumping spells and arrows into the advancing horde.Īt any time, pressing Enter toggles a turn-based mode, leading to a more tactical experience. Your party will need to occasionally stop to rest and eat they’ll press on if you let them, but their condition will deteriorate over time, leading to exhaustion and even death! In spite of this, managing time in-game isn’t difficult, and adds to a sense of immersion.Ĭombat in Might & Magic VI is a hybrid between real-time and turn-based gameplay, and generally takes place against dozens of enemies at a time. Actions such as travel, rest and training advance the clock by hours or days at a time, and the game’s shops, stables and ships abide by a rigid schedule: most businesses close overnight, and travel services only run their routes on specific days of the week. The game is primarily played in real-time and features a day-night cycle, with an in-game minute passing every two seconds. Similar to early FPS titles like Doom, the engine renders 3D environments and 2D enemy sprites.
After a five year hiatus, New World Computing returns to Might and Magic, leaving behind the flat world of Xeen to bring the series to the three-dimensional continent of Enroth, home to the first two Heroes of Might & Magic games.Ī radically different game, Might & Magic VI eschews the 2D, grid-based world of its predecessors in favor of a more modern 3D free-roaming world.
